Review:
Great graphics, great smooth animation. There is a great deal of content and definately a lot of depth to the game, the scripted camera for the fight scenes was excellent. So... surely a game of this nature would easily make it to the top of it's genre, when the vast majority of aspects have been perfected above all other fighters on this site? Well.. tbh I couldn't really say that's the case.
It simply falls below its competitor's in how the gameplay actually turned out. With the shield, the combos, the plan was all there, but it just doesn't work. There's not enough focus on what your actually doing than just smacking the buttons which will usually result in you over-powering your enemy. That's not to say you don't have to move around appropriately and block at the right times, but there's not enough intellectual challene when it comes to combat.
Thus, as a result, it doesn't beat all other games in it's genre in terms of the actual fun factor, the XIAO game for example had a much more tactical approach when fighting.
This isn't to say the game isn't a great piece of work ofcourse, and is undeniably something to be proud of.
